In ~/.bashrc put this, carefully, as bash is fussy! function hi () { echo hello } Then invoke Emacs like this: SHELL=/bin/bash BASH_ENV=~/.bashrc emacs -Q Then: M-x shell-command RET hi RET N.B. Don't rely on SHELL if you want to change the shell in general. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
